Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn Released

Fans do what EA won't: release a new Wing Commander space combat game.

The Wing Commander franchise has been badly neglected by EA over the past decade, but a group of dedicated fans just completed a 10-year labor of love to bring it back. Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn is based on the open-sourced FreeSpace 2 engine, so it's not a mod but a full, stand-alone game that you can download and play for free.

Well, you will be able to, anyway. The site isn't exactly accessible right now due to a crushing stampede of eager Wing Commander fans, but keep trying
www.wcsaga.com and sooner or later you'll get hold of 55 missions worth of space battle against the Kilrathi.
